June 2023 update: With most devices updated to Android 13/One UI 5, Samsung is rolling out One UI 5.1.


As you might know at this point, the South Korean company guarantees at least four years of major Android updates for its flagship smartphones, and up to five years of security updates for its new devices.

After Google released Android 12 in October 2021, the Palo Alto company was faster this time with version 13 by releasing it in mid-August. For Samsung, not much should change in the process compared to last year. Following Samsung’s update history, the first devices that received the new One UI 5 features were the Galaxy S22 series, which should be followed by the most recent foldable devices.

According to the timeline announced by Samsung in South Korea, each supported Galaxy S, Z, and Note phone will start to receive Android 13 by December. Some mid-range models from the Galaxy A series will even begin updating around November.
